Antonine Itinerary


ITER BRITANNIARUM
The British section of the Antonine Itinerary

The Itinerarium Antonini Augusti is the singular contemporary record of the Roman road network and the places to be found along it, which has come down to us.  Most of the place names  in Britain and their modern identities have been accepted since before I. D. Margary's Roman Roads in Britain appeared in it's final edition.. However, Margary's discussion of the Itera in the appendix to this work is the most succinct treatment I have found and his amendments to Codrington's list as well as his suggestions for places of doubtful identity, are included here in parentheses.

According to Margary the Roman mile, milia passuum, (m.p.) was equivalent to about 1,680 yards - a little less than the current statute mile of 1,760 yards.
